23 ni ok nakaw giri moro, kata mana tol kata pat kira, mondo kik chiengʼ moro iwachi ni, ‘An ema ne amiyo Abram obedo jamoko.’
that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’

I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion.”
